Israel-Palestine for Absolute Fucking Morons: Also Known As: Good versus Evil Idiots

Everyone has an opinion on Israel. Most of them are wrong. This book is for the people who suspect that but can't quite prove it yet.You know the type. You may be the type. You've sat through the dinner party where someone explained, with great confidence and a recent Guardian subscription, exactly why Israel is the problem. You nodded. You had a vague sense that something was off. You didn't say anything because you didn't have the facts to hand and the wine was good and it didn't seem worth it.It's worth it. It's always been worth it. You just needed the facts.The author is a Jewish office worker with no relevant qualifications, a lot of suppressed anger, and just enough self-awareness to know that writing a pro-Israel book under his real name would end his career before the first review came in. He is, by his own description, an Absolute Fucking Moron. He did the reading anyway. It turns out that's enough.Inside: the full history without the guilt trip; the anatomy of a lie and how it becomes consensus; what Hamas is, what it wants, and why neither answer is complicated; and the single question that cuts through every march, every chant, and every tote bag slogan faster than anything else.This is not a both-sides book. The author looked at both sides. One of them massacred families at a music festival and the other invented the USB stick. He made a judgement call.Cover the history. Debunk the lies. Name the evil. Pick a side.Turns out it's not that hard.
